Learn the basics of fused glass in this fun hands on workshop. You will learn to lay out, score, cut and grind flat glass pieces and assemble them into a 6x6 panel. You will add surface decoration with; coloured enamels, fritts and iridescent dichroic glass to make your project eye-catching and unique. Participants will make 2 panels during class. These 'glass paintings' can be displayed alone or incorporated into a larger stained glass project. Completed pieces will be fired in the kiln and be ready for pick up three days after the class. No prior experience is necessary this is a great beginner class for aspiring glass artists. DATES & TIMES SAT FEB 21, 9:30 - 12. YOUR TUTOR Susan Adaskin My passion for art bloomed early as I observed and joined my father while he was painting on canvasses and framing paintings. I was introduced to stained glass art, in High School, which I delved into and worked with for over two decades. Upon moving to Toronto in 1989, I met a life long friend who also worked in stained glass and then fused glass. She introduced me to glass fusing and ever since then, I have worked solely with fused glass, spanning the next three decades. Finding peace and happiness in glass creation and teaching others about glass, has no limit and can be pushed beyond imagination. Light, shape and colour are the hooks that make this medium so wonderful to work with. WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING Just yourself!
